_ Carracci became the founder of the most important of the 
Eclectic Schools of Bologna. His style has been considered 
by several of the best judges of the art, as that which 
approaches nearest perfection. He was born at Bologna in 
1558, and died in 1619.

7 Poussin, Nicholas French School 
Landscape Near Rome 


Poussin, a leading master of the French School of Art, 
is celebrated for his landscapes with scriptural and classical 
figures. He was born at Andely, in Normandy, in 1594, and 
died at Rome in 1665, at the advanced age of seventy-one.

9 Hemskerk, Egbert, The Younger 
Dutch School 


Portrait 


This artist was born at Harlem in 1645, and is said to 
have been a scholar of Peter Grebber. He painted scenes 
of drunken revelry with considerable humor, and sometimes 
represented incantations, spectres and similar subjects with 
ready invention and ingenuity. He was well patronized in 
England, and died in London in 1704. 


10 Beerstraten, T. Van Dutch School

12 Ruysdael, Jacob Dutch School 
Waterfall 


This artist, justly considered one of the most eminent 
landscape painters of the Dutch School, was born at Harlem 
about 1636, and is said to have received his earliest instruc- 
tion from Nicholas Berghem. He died at Harlem in 1681.

Pe paer, Prof. Dresden 
The Anabaptists 


In front of his dwelling, in Munster, Johann von Leyden 
is baptizing the daughter of his prophet, Dusentschuer, whom 
he afterwards married. On his left stand his co-regents: 
Rollman, the priest, holding the book, ‘de libertate Chris- 
tiana,” under his arm, and Knipperdolling, in executioner’s 
garb, with sword. Behind these appear two of his twelve 
dukes, the co-regents of the world. In the foreground, a 
kneeling monk, seized with fanaticism, is pressing forward to 
the anabaptism. In obedience to the king’s command, that all 
gold and silver is to be delivered up to him, a maiden is 
bringing her trinkets and valuables to lay at the sovereign’s 
feet. Attired in her white baptismal robes, Dusentschuer’s 
daughter, the picture of innocence and devotion, kneels before 
Johann, and receives upon her bowed head the water of 
anabaptism. The boy, holding the vessel of water, was a 
natural son of the Bishop of Munster, and in his captivity 
served as page to the king. His garments are blue and 
brown, to typify that his king is Lord of Heaven and Earth. 
Behind the maiden kneels Dusentschuer, the second John the 
Baptist. Instead of a sheepskin, a wolfskin covers his shoul- 
ders, and on his banner is inscribed the sanguinary motto of 
the Anabaptists: ‘dat Kort is Flesch worden.” By his side 
appears Hilla, the new Judith, in a state of ecstasy. Behind 
her follows groups of the people, representing Stupidity, 


6 CROCKER ART GALLERY 


Remorse, Indolence, and Anguish of Mind. Armed men 
mingle in the crowd, for the protection of the newly estab- 
lished Zion. Albot, Burgomaster of Munster, and his wife, 
both heartily grieved at the new regime of the fanatics, are 
seen at the window immediately overlooking this scene. The 
Ludgheri Church is visible in the background, but as if to 
carry out the words of Scripture, that whatsoever exalteth 
itself shall be humbled, its spire is broken. Pictures and 
books are being burned in the square in front of the church, 
for New Zion has her King and her Prophets. 

The above description of the painting—“The Anabap- 
tists”’—was written by the poet, Julius Mosen.

Sad Intelligence 

22 Von Oer, Theobald Dresden 


Flight of Maria D’Este, Queen of James II of England, 
from Whitehall 


“Maria Beatrice d’Este, Princess of Modena, was only 
fifteen years old, and remarkably beautiful, when married to 
James II, then old enough to be her grandfather, and was to 
him through all the troubles and vicissitudes of her later 
fortunes, the most tender and devoted wife.” - 

This beautiful picture represents her flight from White- 
hall with her infant son on the night of December 13th, 
1688. But a small group of trusty adherents are present to 
witness the sad scene. Supported by the hand of the French 
Duc de Lauzun, the Queen is about to step into the open boat, 
but turns her beautiful face to look a last farewell upon the 
palace that will henceforth know her sweet presence no more. 
The royal babe is borne behind her, and leaning against a 
pillar, the “ancient servitor”’ covers his face.

chief subjects of his art.

Thomas Wyck was born at Harlem in 1616. He excelled 
in painting small figures, shipping, the interiors of chemists’

Claude Gelee, called Lorraine, was born at Champagne,

21st, 1682. The Prince of Landscape Painters “‘presents to 
the beholder such an infinity of objects, and conveys him 
over such a ‘variety of hill and dale, and misty mountains,’ 
that the eye may be said to be constrained as it wanders, 
to repose itself on the way.”

45 Snyders, Francis Flemish School 
Still Life 

This distinguished artist, who was born at Antwerp in 
1579, confined himself for some time entirely to painting 
fruit and objects of still life, in which he excelled; but later 
devoted himself to animals and hunting scenes, which he 
painted with a fire and spirit unequalled by any master who 
has succeeded him. Snyders died at Antwerp in 1657.

This admired painter was born at Harlem in 1620, and 
died at the same place in 1668. His pictures usually repre- 
sent hawking parties, halts of travelers, encampments, horse 
fairs, and all subjects into which he could introduce horses, 
which he treated with unequalled spirit and correctness.

53 Dietrich, Franz Dresden 
Oedipus and Antigone 

On discovery that he had been guilty of the double crime 

of parricide and incest, Oedipus in horror put out his eyes 

and exiled himself. Led by his daughter, Antigone, he 

proceeds to the grove of the Furies at Colones, where, amid 
thunder-peals, he is removed from earth. 


Advancing along a dreary and rocky road, Antigone, in a 
white garment almost completely covered by violet drapery, 
which veils without concealing her beautiful form, is putting: 
aside the briars from her father’s path with the wand in 
her right hand; her head is turned towards Oedipus, who 
on his daughter’s left side and holding her hand, advances 
with bowed head and the slow, uncertain step of blindness. 
The dark red drapery of Oedipus contrasts admirably with 
his silvery, flowing hair and beard.

Trial of Charles the First of England 


“On the 20th of January, 1649, the sittings of the tribu- 
nal were opened with great ceremony at Westminster Hall, 
and although the king steadily denied the authority of his 
judges, they sentenced him to death on the 27th of January, 
as a ‘Murderer, Tyrant, and Enemy of the People’.” 

Never have the misfortunes of a prince furnished more 
themes for poet and painter, than those of him who has 
been alternately represented as a royal martyr, or an execrable 
tyrant. But the calm dignity with which he bore his misfor- 
tunes, his unaffected piety and his attachment to the church, 
must win for him the respect of even those most opposed to 
him in politics and religion. —

Cattle Piece 


Adrian Van de Velde was born at Amsterdam in 1639. 
“He was a scholar of Jan Wynants, and ranks almost as high 
as Paul Potter; for if inferior to him in the energy of concep- 
tion displayed in his cattle, in plastic modeling and breadth 
of solid execution, he excels him in variety of subject, in 
taste for composition, delicacy of drawing, and in a certain 
warmth and sweetness of feeling.” He has, however, this in 
common with Paul Potter—that he was a distinguished 
artist by the age of fourteen, and that he died young, namely, 
at the age of thirty-two.

Village Ale House 


This painting, representing the outside of a Flemish ale 
house, with groups of peasantry regaling, is from the brush 
of Abraham Teniers, a brother of David Teniers, the younger. 
He was born at Antwerp about 1618, and received his art 
education both from his father and brother. He painted 
chiefly Flemish village scenes, in a style similar, although 
inferior, to that of the younger David. He died in 1691.

76 Ruysdael, Jacob Dutch School 
Sketch 

This eminent landscape painter was born at Harlem about 
the year 1636. It is not known under whom he studied, but 
it is probable that he was for some time the pupil of his 
friend and fellow townsman Nicholas Berghem. Ruysdael’s 
pictures are held in the highest estimation, and are found 
in the choicest collections. He died in Harlem in 1681.

But little is known of the private history of this able 
artist. He was of Flemish origin, and was born about the 
year 1600. He studied in the school of Rubens, but conse- 
quently adopted the manner of Rembrandt, and so closely 
does he approach that master that many works attributed 
to Rembrandt, doubtless owe their paternity to Jan Victor, 


14 CROCKER ART GALLERY 


and only a duly qualified connoisseur can discriminate be- 
tween the two. Victor, or as he sometimes signed his 
pictures, Fictoor, usually chose his subjects from the Old 
Testament. He died about 1670.

91 Palamedes, Paul Dutch School 
Abduction of Proserpine 


Paul Palamedes Staevaerts, or Palamedes, as he is usually 
called, was born in London in 1607, but returned at an early 
age with his father to Holland. After acquiring an ele- 
mentary knowledge of art, he improved himself by studying 
the works of Esais Vandervelde, copying with great success, 
that master’s clear and transparent style of coloring, and 
like him, painted battles, skirmishes, attacks of robbers, etc., 
with great success. He died in 1638, in the prime of life; 
but not before he had acquired a distinguished reputation 
among the artists of his native country. 


92 Fontana, Lavinia Bolognese School 
Madonna and Child 


A beautiful picture by this eminent artist, the daughter 


SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA 15 


and pupil of Prospero Fontana. She was born at Bologna 
in 1552. Lauzi says that she possessed wonderful sweetness 
of penciling, particularly after she had studied the works of 
the Carracci, and that some of her portraits might have 
passed for those of Guido. She died at Rome in 1614.

Pieter de Wit, or Witte, called Pietro Candido, a painter, 

sculptor and architect, was born at Bruges in 1548. After 

studying in his native city he went to Italy, where he formed 


16 CROCKER ART GALLERY 


an intimacy with Giorgi Vasari, whom he assisted in his 
works at the Vatican. From Italy he repaired, at the invita- 
tion of Maximilian I, Elector of Bavaria, to Munich, where 
he spent the remainder of his life. Under the arcade of the 
Long Gallery of the Hofgarten, in that city, he painted a 
series of frescoes, representing the deeds of Otto von Wittels- 
bach, and the Departure of the Emperor Ludwig from Rome 
in 1327. Although these paintings are now defaced, the 
designs are preserved in the tapestries worked from them, 
and in the prints engraved from the tapestries by Amling. 
Th exact date of De Witte’s death is not known, but it prob- 
ably occured about 1620.

Luc Jacobez, called Lucas van Leyden, may justly be

den in 1494, “he followed that realistic tendency, in the 
treatment of sacred subjects, which Huber van Eyck had so 
grandly tracked, and lowered it greatly from its previous 
elevation. His heads, for instance, are generally of a very 
ugly character; at the same time, his form of art found 
sympathy in the feeling of the period.” He died in 1533.

decorated with figures by Bout. Their joint productions are 
highly esteemed in Flanders and England, where some of 
their best works are to be found.

Egyptian Magdalene 

Guido Reni, the greatest of the scholars of the Caracei, 
was born at Bologna in 1575. “His earlier pictures display a 
striving after the grand and terrible, with a powerful effect 
of light and shadow, similar to that observed in the works 
of Caravaggio; but his later style, by which he is best known, 
is remarkable for its sweetness and tenderness. His heads 
show the influence of a careful study of the antique.” Guido 
died in 1642.

Albert Durer, the painter of this head of St. Joseph and 

its companion picture, “The Virgin Mary,” was born at 

Nurnberg in 1471. He distinguished himself in youth by his 

exquisite carvings, and subsequently adopted painting as his 

profession. Albert Durer has been styled the father of the 


German School of Painting and the Prince of Artists. He 
died in 1528. =

This artist, a pupil of Henry Steenwyck, painted like his 
master most exquisite interiors of churches and temples. 
“Such was his knowledge of perspective, that he was ac- 
customed to paint, in the small space of a cabinet picture, the 
largest and most magnificent gothic edifices, in so masterly 
a manner as to delude the spectator into the belief of the 
reality of the immense space the building represents.” He 
was born in 1570 and died in 1651.

Josef Ribera, called Il Spagnaletto, was born at Xativa

powerful and effective style possessed a particular attraction 
for Ribera. “His genius led him to paint gloomy and austere 
subjects, which were peculiarly acceptable to the Neapolitans

abstinence and severity. Ribera died at Naples in 1656.

to perfect himself there, by further study of the great 
masters. He soon rose to distinction, his pictures being 
more highly esteemed in the “ancient city” than those of any 
of his countrymen. He died in Venice in the year 1678.

Judith and Holofernes 


Rembrandt Van Rhyn, born in 1606, was the son of a 
miller of Leyden, and “from the dark interior of his father’s 
mill, partially lighted from above, in which he passed his 
infancy and boyhood, he is supposed to have caught the first 
idea of those strong contrasts of light and shadow, which 
he carried to such perfection in his art.”

140* Luini, Bernardino (1480-1530) Milanese School 
Madonna and Child 

Bernardino Luini was born at Luino, on Lago Maggiore, 
about the year 1480. He was a disciple of Leonardo da 
Vinci, and the most celebrated imitator of that master’s 
style. Some uncertainty exists concerning the exact date of 
his death, but it was subsequent to the year 1530. Professor 
Ruskin said of Luini, in his Oxford Lecture on Sculpture, 
that “he alone of mediaeval artists could combine beauty and 
saintliness.”

This artist, born at Paris in 1714, was the scholar of 
Francois Le Moine. Appointed to the position of first painter 
to the King, and flattered and favored by the great Boucher, 
was the most admired artist of the day among the Parisians. 
“Yet perhaps it would be difficult to select one who enjoyed 
these advantages with less real pretention to admiration, or 
less legitimate claim to distinction.” He died in 1768.

the Academy of Antwerp. He usually painted peasant fes- 
tivals, musical parties or the interiors of chemists’ labor- 
atories. David Ryckaert’s pictures are not often met with out 
of Belgium, where they are to be found in the best collections. 
He died in 1677.

Venetian School 
The Infant Bacchus 


This distinguished artist, born at Venice in 1485, was 
known by the name of Sebastiano Veneziano, until the Pope 
bestowing upon him the office of Keeper of his Chancery 
Seal, made it necessary for him to assume the regilious habit, 
along with which he adopted the title of Fra Sebastiano del 
Piombo. He was successively the scholar of Bellini, Geor- 
gioni and Michel Angelo Buonaroti, and after the death of 
Raffaelle, he was reputed the most distinguished artist in 
Rome. He died in 1547.

Giacomo da Ponte, usually called I] Bassano, was born at

who was the founder of a school bearing his name; later, in 
Venice, under Bonifagio Veneziani. He is supposed by some 
to have been a pupil of Titian, but this is doubtful, although 
at one time he was a close follower of that master’s style. 
After acquiring considerable celebrity in Venice, his father’s 
death compelled him to return.

Portrait 


This eminent portrait painter was born in Westphalia ix 
1617. On the death of Van Dyck in 1640, he determined to 
visit England, where he soon acquired high favor and distinc- 
tion. Through William, Prince of Orange, he was introduced 
to the notice of Charles I, whose portrait he painted, as well 
as those of the Prince and Princess of Orange. Through all 
the tragical events that followed, Sir Peter Lely remained in 
England, his fame unimpaired. Cromwell sat to him, and 
after the Restoration, he had the honor of painting King 
Charles II, by whom he was knighted. Sir Peter died in 1680 
and was buried in Convent Garden, where a monument with 
his bust, by Gibbon, is erected in his memory.

He was a favorite of Charles Emanuel, Duke of Savoy, who 
invited him to the Court of Turin, and conferred upon him the 
order of the Knighthood of St. Maurice. He died in 1664.

Venice, was published in that city in 1742. Canaletto was 
born in Venice in 1697 and died in 1768. 1

The Patriotic Race 


Represents an incident of the American Revolution. While 
both armies were encamped near the Potomoc, the English 
officers gave a ball to the ladies of the vicinity. In the 
course of the evening a young American girl happened to 
overhear a whispered conversation between two officers relat- 
ing to movements of the army and some important dispatches 
on the subject, which were to be forwarded that night by 
special messenger to a commanding officer stationed at some 
distance. Understanding of what immense advantage the 
possession of these papers would be to her countrymen, the 
young girl instantly formed a heroic resolution. Slipping into 
the kitchen, she managed to divert the attention of the mes- 
senger while she abstracted the dispatch bag, then hurrying 
to the stable she mounted the horse, which stood ready

saddled for the British soldier, and behold her galloping 
towards the American encampment. In short time the 
important theft is discovered and an English officer starts 
in pursuit of the fugitive. Just at sunrise he overtakes her— 
another moment and her heroic act had been in vain, but 
American tents are gleaming in the distance, an American 
soldier is already by her side. In the ardor of his exciting 
chase, the Englishman has, unnoticed, passed the lines of the 
hostile encampment; at the sharp tone of the American 
soldier, he now wheels about with an angry oath, and, thanks 
to his brave steed alone, makes good his escape to the 
British lines. va

The Love Chase 

It was customary with the Arabs, when a young man 
wooed the daughter of a Sheik, that the father should give 
his best horse to the maiden, and another to her suitor. 
If the girl was favorably disposed toward the intended bride- 
groom, she would rein in her steed, thus giving him an oppor- 
tunity of overtaking her; if, on the contrary, she disliked him, 
she urged her horse to its utmost speed. This picture repre- 
sents a fair lady, evidently extremely willing to be captured, 
and giving her lover every possible opportunity of winning 
the prize. In the background are seated the respective 
fathers of the young couple, while, according to Arab custom, 
a camel stands ready to carry home the bride.

Bologna in 1581. He was a fellow student of Guido and 
Albano in the Academy of the Caracci, where he soon dis- 
tinguished himself greatly. Together with Albano, he after- 
wards visited Parma, Modena and Reggio, to study the works 
of Correggio and Parmegiano; and on their return they both 
finally settled in Rome. Domenichino’s Communion of St. 
Jerome, painted for the principal altar of S. Girolamo della 
Carita, was considered the finest picture at Rome, after the 
Transfiguration, by Raffaelle. He died in 1641. .

John Holzer, a German historical painter, was born in 
1708 in the Tyrol. The date of his death is unknown. 


390* Van Dyck, Sir A. (1599-1641) Antwerp 
The Epiphany, or Adoration of the Three Kings 


The church yearly celebrates this, almost the first event 
in the human life of the infant Savior. The Magi, or, as 
tradition has it, the “Three Kings,” having seen His star in 
the east, have come to worship Him and bring gifts, “gold, 
frankincense and myrrh.” In the center of the picture, clad 
in an ermine mantle, his jeweled turban lying at his feet, sits 
one of the kings, tenderly holding the divine infant, whom he 
has just received from the arms of the Virgin. Close beside 
him, to the right, the second king, a Moor, is bending down to 
present his offering, and behind him appears the figure of 
the other king. To the left, in scarlet robe and dark drapery, 
stands the blessed mother, contemplating her son, and quite 


44 CROCKER ART GALLERY 


in the background appears the head of St. Joseph, while some 
figures—attendants of the Magi—fill up the center of the 
background. There is infinite grace and simplicity in the 
expression and attitude of the blessed Virgin, and the head 
of the king holding the infant is full of wonderful dignity, 
individuality and veneration. The paintings of Vandyck are 
very numerous, notwithstanding the shortness of his career.

St. Martin Dividing His Mantle 

Theodore van Thulden, one of the most distinguished 
disciples of Rubens, was born at Bois-le-Duc in 1607. He 
executed several pictures for churches and public buildings 
at Antwerp, Bruges, Mechlin, and other Flemish cities, some 
of which have been mistaken for works of that master. The 


SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA 45 


Assumption of the Blessed Virgin, which he painted for the 
Church of the Jesuits at Bruges, is considered his finest work. 
The time of his death seems to be somewhat uncertain, but 
it is generally placed about the year 1676.

Portrait 


Anthony Vandyck, the friend and pupil of Rubens, is 
justly termed the “Prince of Portrait Painters.” In this 
department he is allowed to have but one superior—Titian. 
Vandyck was born at Antwerp in 1599, and died in London in 
1641. The portrait before us is evidently that of some scholar 
and divine of the seventeenth century.

Paul Potter was born at Enckhuysen in 1625. He made 
such astonishing progress in the study of painting, that he 
ranked, at the age of fifteen, as a finished artist. “Of the 
masters who have striven pre-eminently after truth, he is, 
beyond all question, one of the greatest that ever lived.” 
He died at Amsterdam in 1654. 


405* Hals, Franz (1584-1666) Flemish School 
The Mandolin Player 


This celebrated portrait and historical painter was born 
at Mechlin in 1584, and was a disciple of Karel van Mander. 
Few painters have equaled Hals in his particular department, 


46 CROCKER ART GALILEE 


and of the numerous artists of his country he has only been 
surpassed in it by Vandyck. His coloring is chaste, and at 
the same time vigorous, and his heads are full of life and 
character. It was the opinion of Vandyck that no artist 
would have equaled him in his profession if he could have 
given more tenderness to his coloring.

The Empress of Austria, and Queen of Hungary and

appeared in the flush of youth and beauty before her faithful 
Hungarians, when, in 1741, she put herself and her infant 
son Joseph under their protection, and they, animated with 
the most enthusiastic loyalty, drew their swords, exclaiming: 
“We will perish for our King, Maria Theresa!”

pictures that has scarcely been equaled. He died in his

This artist acquired from his father’s occupation, which

His pictures were noted for their fine expression and finished 
style. His manner resembles that of Bellini.

Antonio Allegri, called Correggio, was born at Correggio, 
a small town in Modena, in 1494. It is ascertained that this 
great genius and “model of all supernatural grace,’ never 
visited Rome—never even saw the works of other great 
masters, except Raphael’s “St. Cecelia,” when it was brought 
to Bologna. After long gazing upon it with breathless admira- 
tion, he exclaimed: “Anch io sono pittore!” (I also am a 
painter!) Correggio’s death occurred in the year 1534, at the 
early age of forty-one. Like Raphael, he died in the prime of 
life.

Grand Canyon of the Sierras—Yosemite Valley, California 


Thomas Hill was born in Birmingham, England, in 1829. 
His family came to America in 1840, and settled at Taunton, 
Mass. He early showed artistic talent, his first important 
work being painted in Philadelphia in 1853, at which time he 
was a member of the old Graphic Club and also of the 
Academy, studying in the life class, of which Rothermel was 
president. In 1853 he took his first medal at the Maryland 
Institute, Baltimore. In 1861, he came to California for the 
benefit of his health. Opening a studio in San Francisco, he took 
the first prize of the Art Union for his “Trial Scene in the 
Merchant of Venice.” He went to Paris in 1866, and studied 
with Paul Meyerheim, after which he devoted himself almost 
exclusively to landscape. Taking up his residence in Boston 
in 1867, he painted several notable pictures, amongst others 
“The Yosemite Valley” and “White Mountain Notch.” Ill 
health compelled him to return to California, where he was 
soon able to resume the successful career began in the Kast. 
At the Centennial Exposition, Philadelphia, 1876, he was 
awarded the first medal for landscape painting, the subjects 
being “Donner Lake” and “Yosemite Valley,” which are now 
in the gallery of the Leland Stanford, Jr., University. An- 
other of his best works, “The Great Canon of the Sierras,” 
is in the Crocker Gallery (No. 423). This picture gained the 
New York Pallette Club medal. In addition to these honors, 
Mr. Hill has received a number of other medals.

Andreas Achenbach was born at Hesse Cassel in 1815. In 
1827 he became a pupil of Sehirmer, the professor of land- 


SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA 49 


scape at the Dusseldorf Academy, and acquired in a few 
years a high rank as an architectural landscape painter. “A 
coasting voyage which he made with his father in 1832 and 
1833, by way of Rotterdam, Scheveningen and Amsterdam, to 
Hamburg, and thence to Riga, opened new fields for the 
exercise of his pencil in the grand wilderness and magnificent 
surging of the Northern Sea, his acquaintance with which he 
two years afterwards matured and extended by an expedition 
to Denmark, Norway and Sweden.” He subsequently traveled 
in the Tyrol, and in 1843 went to Italy, where he remained 
two years. “His pictures are characterized by the charm of 
never ending variety, grand mountain passes and lovely home 
idylls, the solitary fiord, forest lands, waterfalls and marine 
views with shipping, all seem under diverse aspects of sea- 
son—some by day, others by moonlight. To sum up, the 
tendency of Achenbach’s genius is realistic in the highest 
and best sense of the word.” Foremost among his scholars 
are his brother Oswald and A. Flamm-Andreas. Achenbach 
obtained the great gold medals of Belgium and Prussia and 
the small one of France. He is also Knight of the Belgium 
Order of Leopold, and a member of the academies of Berlin, 
Amsterdam and Antwerp. Died 1905.

Proclamation of Peace After the Thirty Years’ War 


A composition containing about seventy figures in the 
foreground and on the sides, besides an immense number 
more indistinctly seen in the distance. Young and old have 
come without the town to receive the glad tidings of peace, 
which are brought by twelve youths, crowned with flowers 
and clad in flowing garments, who are advancing slowly down 
the road. One bears a scroll of parchment in his left hand, 
the others carry olive branches. Some of the people are on 
their knees, while others stand gazing upwards, in mute 
gratitude to Heaven. Here and there, those whom the cruel 
war has made widows and fatherless, indulge in silent grief, 
unable to participate in the universal joy. To the left appear 
the steeples and buildings of a town, and from a half-ruined 
tower flies the white flag of peace. In the distance, to the 
right, troops are seen returning. A river, the Rhine, probably, 
winds its serpentine course through the distant landscape,

dotted along its banks with towns and villages, and castled 
crags, and over all, in the blue sky, gleams the rainbow 
of promise.

of light and shadow, similar to that observed in the works of 
Caravaggio; but his later style, by which he is best known, 
is remarkable for its sweetness and tenderness. His heads 
show the influence of a careful study of the antique.” Guido 
died in 1642.

seated in various attitudes, all more or less careless. In 
the foreground, to the right of the spectator, sits Queen 
Joanna, a fair woman, of beautiful form and feature.” She 


52 CROCKER ART GALLERY 


is clothed in white satin; some drapery of gold brocade is 
thrown across her lap, which is full of flowers, and the tip 
of her dainty attired foot rests on a richly covered stool. 
Her head is turned towards the gentleman on her left, Prince 
Louis of Taranto, who, with his right hand on his heart, is 
evidently making some tender protestation. Behind the 
chairs of the Queen and her favorite stand two Moorish boys, 
holding fans of peacock feathers. To the left, a youth and 
maiden, in the costume of the Italian peasantry, are execut- 
ing a national dance to the music of bagpipe and flute. In 
the background attendants are bringing in fruit, and on the 
extreme right of the picture a musician, seated on a stone 
fence, and two lazzaroni are eagerly gazing upon the festive 
scene. Between the vine-wreathed pillars, at the back of the 
table, we have a view of Vesuvius, and the blue waters of the 
far-famed Bay of Naples. 


Queen Joanna reigned from 1343 to 1382. She was a 
beautiful, but unprincipaled woman, who caused the murder 
of her first husband in 1345, and was married three times 
afterwards. She was suffocated by command of her cousin 
and adopted son, Charles of Durazzo, who was proclaimed 
King of Naples in 1382.

Francisco Zurbaran, the son of a husbandman, was born at

much taste and skill in painting, he was released from the 
plow and placed under the tuition of Juan de Roelas, where 
he soon acquired a considerable reputation. In 1650, he was 
sent for by King Philip to paint the Labors of Hercules, in 
the palace of Buenretiro. During the progress of the work, 
he was often visited by his royal patron, who on one occasion 
was pleased to express his admiration by laying his hand 
upon the artist’s shoulder, and calling him “painter of the 
king, and king of painters.” Zurbaran was of the naturalist 
school in light and shade and color, and is called the Spanish

Caravaggio; he made a special study of draperies, which are 
invariably well managed in his pictures. He died at Madrid 
in 1662.

(From Ariosto’s “Orlando Furioso”’) 


Peter Van der Werf was born in the vicinity of Rotterdam 
in 1665. A pupil of his elder brother, Adrian, he copied the 
latter’s works in the same tone of coloring and delicate 
manner of penciling. In painting from his own designs he 
imitated his brother so closely that his pictures have some- 
times passed for Adrian’s works, although they are inferior 
to them. He died in 1718.

455 Carracci, Annibale Bolognese

Born at Bologna, in 1560, Annibale was the most distin-

Rome are the “Farnese Gallery,” and the “Miracle of Cana,” 
in the chapel of the palace. At Bologna, the “Annunciation,” 
in the Church of the Madonna di Galliera; and the Dresden 
Gallery contains his admirable picture of “St. Roch Distribut- 
ing His Wealth to the Poor.” Annibale Carracci died at 
Rome, in 1609. 


456* Murillo, Bartholome Esteban Spanish School 
A Gypsy 


In this picture the connoisseur recognizes at a glance the 
master hand of Murillo. The squalid attire and surroundings 
of the weird, witch-like creature, the attendant ape, fit com- 
panion for a being who appears scarcely human in her re- 
pulsive hideousness, are portrayed with wonderful art and 
expression, and reveal the touch of him, in whom “all the 
glories of Spanish art were united, as it were, into one focus.” 
Murillo, like Rubens, the only master of his age that can be 
compared with him in talent, “possessed an almost incredible 


SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA 55 


fertility, a widely extended reputation, and most amiable 
qualities.” 

Bartholome Esteban Murillo was born in the little town 
of Pilas, near Seville, in 1618, and died in 1685. 


457* Vinci, Leonardo Da Florentine School 


Ecce Homo 

This illustrious artist was born in the Val de’Arno in 
1452, and evinced even in childhood a decided taste for the 
fine arts. Placed by his father under the guidance of 
Andrea Verrochio, he soon eclipsed that master, and his 
talents rapidly attracted the attention of the Florentine public. 
Leonardo’s studies had not been confined to painting; he was 
an able sculptor and architect and an accomplished poet and 
musician. Joined to such vigor of intellect, was an elegance 
of feature and grace of manner which made him beloved by 
all and soon spread his fame through Italy. His famous work 
is his “Last Supper,” painted for the refectory of the Dom- 
inican Convent of S. Maria delle Grazie at Milan,” a perform- 
ance which history ranks amongst the most admirable produc- 
tions of the art.” Leonardo da Vinci expired at Fountainbleau 
on the 2nd day of May, 1519. Aged 67 years.

Peter Paul Rubens, the illustrous head of the Flemish

ful diplomatist and accomplished man of the world,” was 
born at Cologne in 1577, on the Feast of St. Peter and St. 
Paul, from which circumstance he received his name. On 
reaching his twenty-third year, he went by advice of his 
friend and master, Otto Venius, to Italy, where he spent eight 
years. On his return he established himself at Antwerp, from 
where he went at different times to the Courts of France and 
Spain. Among his numerous magnificent paintings, the one 
by which he is most extensively known is probably his fa- 
mous “Descent from the Cross,’ which presents the highest 
excellence attained by the master in ecclesiastical art. Ru- 
bens died at Antwerp May, 1640.

the exception of occasional visits to Europe, he has since 
resided. Probably he is the best known for his landscapes, 
which have achieved for him a reputation throughout the 
United States, while at the same time his work in the field 
of portraiture is almost equally important.

The Nativity 

Gaspar de Crayer was born at Antwerp in 1582. “The 
biographers of the Flemish painters have not hesitated to 
place this estimable artist on a level with Rubens and Van- 
dyck. Although this high compliment may be rather strained, 
he is undoubtedly entitled to the next rank after them, among 
the ablest artists of that school.”

Christ at the Temple with the Doctors 


Eustache Le Sueur, the son of an obscure sculptor, was 
born at Paris in 1617. “His style exhibits little of the char- 
acter of his country, and the simplicity of his compositions 
and the poetry of his design procured him the honorable title 
of the French Raffaelle. * * * His compositions are noble 
and elevated, and there is a naivete in the air of his heads,

and in his attitudes, which is extremely interesting; his 
draperies are simply and grandly cast, and though his coloring 
is without vigor or force, it is tender and delicate, and well 
adapted to the particular character of his works.” This dis- 
tinguished painter died in 1655.

Sheep and Goats 


Jacob Van der Does, born at Amsterdam in 1623, was 
for some time a scholar of Nicholas Moyaert. On proceeding 
to Italy, he was, however, strongly influenced by the pictures 
of Peter van Laer (called Bamboccio), and attaching himself 
to the style of that master, he painted similar subjects with 
great success. He executed landscapes, chiefly of Italian 
character, enlivened with sheep and goats, “which are touched 
with a precision and beauty of pencil that has hardly seemed 
surpassed.” Van der Does is said to have been of a gloomy, 
morose and fretful temperament, and his works seem to par- 
take of the gloominess of his character. He died at The 
Hague in 1673.

Francesco Primaticcio, the scion of a noble house, was 
born at Bologna in 1490. He was successively the scholar 
of Innocenzo da Imola, Il Bagnacavallo, and of Guido Romano; 
with the latter he spent six years. He passed much of his 
time in France, where he was a great favorite with Francis I. 
On the death of that monarch, he continued in the service of 
his successors, Henry II and Charles IX. Primaticcio died 
at Paris in 1570. 


540 Holbein, Hans German School 
Dido Stabbing Herself 


This distinguished painter, engraver and designer, is gen- 
erally said to have been born at Basle in 1498, although 
according to others, he is a native of Augsburg. However 
this may be, young Holbein passed his youth in the former 
place. In 1526 he visited England, where he was received 
with the greatest kindness by Sir Thomas More, through 
whose influence he was introduced to the notice of King 
Henry VIII, who took him into great favor, and appointed 
him painter to the Court, with apartments in the palace and 
a liberal salary. His works are very numerous; the greatest 
and best are in England, where he executed them. He died 
of the plague in London in 1554.

Michel Angelo Amerighi, surnamed Caravaggio, was born 
at Milan in 1569, and died in 1609. He has made himself 
famous for the impressive truth of his productions, and his 
pictures may, to a certain extent, be regarded as typical of 
his life, portraying, as they do, more especially the passionate 
and gloomy emotions of the human heart.

Mary, Queen of Scots and Her Husband, with Rizzio 


On the evening of the 9th of March, 1566, Lord Darnley, 
Ruthven, and others, entered the Queen’s apartments, Holy- 
rood Palace, and carried out their fiendish plot of assassinat- 
ing her confidential secretary and favorite, David Rizzio, 
before the eyes of his royal mistress. In the center of the 
picture, Mary is seated in an attitude of alarm, her right hand

extended towards Rizzio, as if to protect him. The latter, 
to the left, surprise and terror depicted on his countenance, 
leans back, gazing as if fascinated, upon Darnley, who, with 
outstretched arm, denounces him to the executioner. In the 
background, to the right, the Countess of Argyle stands near 
the door, a terror-stricken spectator of the scene.

David Teniers, born at Antwerp in 1610, received his first 
instruction in painting from his father, the elder Teniers; 
he afterwards studied under Adrian Brouwer, and is said to 
have been for some time the pupil of Rubens. The works of 
Teniers, although exceedingly numerous, are held in the 
highest estimation, and in subjects relating to common life, 
he is the greatest of Flemish painters. He died at Brusse!s 

in the year 1694, at the advanced age of eighty-four.

through France, he met with so much encouragement in 
Paris, that, abandoning his original project, he decided to 
remain in the latter city. After several years’ residence 

there, he returned to Bruges, where he received more com- 
missions than he could execute. His principal work is a 
series of fifteen pictures of the Life of Our Savior, painted 
for the Church of the Dominicans at Bruges. He died in his 
native city in 1714. The picture before us was painted during 
the artist’s residence in Paris.

John Wynants, born at Harlem in 1600, is esteemed one

the academy which he established has produced many of the 
ablest artists of the Dutch School. Little is known of his 
life, “his works, like those of Philip Wouverman, must form 
his history.” His pictures, which are very valuable and of 
which he painted a large number, are to be found among all 
the best collections. He died in 1670.

HISTORY OF THE GALLERY 


City of Sacramento, California, the E. B. Crocker Art 

Gallery 1870-1873 to gratify their tastes. They gathered 
most of the Art Collection during their travels in Europe. 
The large collection of studies, drawings, etc., kept in port- 
folios and lockers, were secured from studios and collectors 
in Europe during the Franco-Prussian War. 


Jew E. B. and Mrs. Margaret E. Crocker erected in the 


In 1884 the California Museum Association was formed to 
gather a museum of art, natural history, etc., and to study 
matters related to the development of the resources of Cal- 
ifornia. 


To aid in securing a hall for its purposes, it gave an Art 
Loan Exhibition in the Art Gallery by the kindness of Mrs. 
Margaret E. Crocker, widow of Judge E. B. Crocker. It was 
so successful that in its midst Mrs. Crocker donated to the 
Association the building, and all its contents. By the request 
of the Association Mrs. Crocker changed the gift so that it 
could be received by the City of Sacramento, with the Cali- 
fornia Museum Association as a co-tenant and administrator. 
The city accepted the trust and the two bodies have ever 
since controlled the property jointly. 


In honor of the donor of the Gallery the people, shortly 
after the making of the deed, gave her a reception in the 
great Agricultural Pavilion, which for floral beauty, unan- 
imity of participation and splendor of ceremony, has never 
been surpassed in the State. People and societies from all 
over the State participated and contributed to the features 
of the floral festival. An account of all this with paintings 
by California artists was bound in a unique volume of gold 
and Sutter Fort Oak, and, with another volume bound in 
silver and oak, containing newspaper comments on the gift 
and festival, was presented to Mrs. Crocker. 


The original gift included 160 feet on O Street, by 160 
on Second Street. A few years later and shortly prior to her 
death, Mrs. Crocker gave an additional strip on the east 
marked by the west line of the residence property next to 
the Gallery.

“Dragged forward by a brutal crucifix, fainting under the weight of the 
cross, the Redeemer tottered feebly towards the Gate of Judgment, while 
the sainted Veronica, heedless of the rudeness of the soldiers, pressed 
forward to wipe from the countenance of the sufferer with her handkerchief 
the blood that trickled from his thorn-pressed brows (which handkerchief, 
according to the legend, ever afterwards retained the impression of the 
divine features); while behind, Mary, supported by the Apostle John, 
stretched her arms in speechless agony towards her beloved son.”

progress in the study of painting, that he ranked, at the age of fifteen, as a 
finished artist. ‘Of the masters who have striven pre-eminently after truth,

Amsterdam in 1654.
